He's a crusty fella, but only on the outside. He was kind and patient enough to pose for me.
This was only slightly terrifying. Never glue onto a painted surface, you'll be relying on the adhesion of the paint instead of the adhesion of the glue. Still, scraping paint off a finished prop isn't exactly "fun"

It started as simply an omelette with bacon, because I didn't have any other idea for today's lunch. Also, bacon was already pushing its better days and had to be eaten or thrown away. But then I've stumbled upon two orphaned chicken tenders that couldn't make their own meal even if they wanted to and a tiny chunk of green pepper. So I coated the chicken in red chili powder, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and black pepper and grilled it. Then it was only natural to grill the green peppers too. And all this grilled and fatty stuff had to be balanced with something fresh, so here went the cucumber with green onions dressed in the crème fraîche based dressing.

Scrape was designed by former Hor Rod Mgazine editor Terry Cook and constructed by Ramsy Moeher over a four year period in the 1960s. Front clip from a 1941 and rear from a 1939. Chopped eight inches, fenders extended sevn inches.
Stage 3 of the Woman's Cycle Tour 2015
Two British riders battle it out up the hill, into final corner and the finish line. Lucy Garner, middle (3rd) and Hannah Barnes, Right (4th)
My local home town hosted the finish for stage 3 of Aviva Woman's cycle tour. So thought I would take the opportunity to get more experience with new Nikon 300mm f/4e PF VR.
I jumped right in and fell-over on my first day in Madrid. Nice scrape there on my knee... ...and what colour and style are those pants I'm wearing....a shade of khaki...a version of cargo....have I succumbed to the camoflauge of the masses? Oh fickle me and my grazed knee. Currently sat at the beautiful airport watching the RAIN yes the RAIN
We are finally scraping the last of the wallpaper off the walls in the living room. My husband keeps trying to make it easy, it's not...he wants to to go faster, it won't.
It's a long slow process no matter what you do, trust me I have taken wallpaper off a ceiling.
This is a small scrape I got in training recently. I don't know why I'm obsessed with scrapes and other injuries. Check out my blog if you want details.

October 12th, 2004:
Wiped out just as I started my morning jog — tripped over an uneven sidewalk and went down hard.
Ouch!
That’s my knee. Actually it’s not as bad as it might appear to be. Xy thought it looked fake, like a veggie bacon strip. My other knee and my elbow and hands are a little raw, but my left knee definitely got the worst of it.
P.S. Yes, I finished my run.
One of the bulbs in the kitchen has been coming on intermittently; I removed it and found the base was corroded.
Using my handy penknife I scraped it clean, replaced it and it works fine – for the time being 😳

On 30th September 1991 class 108 DMBS 53969 found itself working the 13:24 Leeds to Sheffield service in the company of class 111 DTCL 54061. This hybrid combo was apparently quite long lived. No doubt formed in a hurry at Neville Hill depot in response to the Sprinter crisis of the time, the pairing was recorded first in 1989, and again as late as 1991. After that 53969 was again paired with a class 108 trailer, being withdrawn on 26th November 1991. The class 111 car was transferred away from Neville Hill, first to Cambridge and then to Longsight where it was finally withdrawn in June 2000. (Info www.railcar.co.uk/)
Here the unit is reproduced in model form. Both cars are from Bachmann, with the class 108 vehicle showing scars from having been fitted with window bars for working the Cumbrian coast, missing a ventilator on the roof and showing a Tyseley set number recording its nomadic career. Damage under the center cab window has been replicated and a generous coat of Neville Hill grime has been applied. The class 111 car has had all the usual treatment and been renumbered from a standard Bachmann car. The vehicle has been rewired to accept a DCC chip of its own to control the lights.
Another useful addition to the Kinsley fleet.
This is an unusual sight at the race track. The average track day rider is on a bike that's designed for speed rather than comfort. This guy did a great job with that beast. And I have to admit he looked the most comfortable! Other bikes going down the front straightaway were hunkered down, trying to hide from the 150 MPH wind under their 6" tall wind screen. This guy was kicked back like he was riding down I-85. Kudos to to him for handling that big bike so well, and for embarrassing more than a few sportbike riders. :)

The Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis), also colloquially Black Rhino, is a species of rhinoceros, native to the eastern and central areas of Africa including Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Although the Rhino is referred to as black, it is actually more of a grey/brown/white color in appearance.
The name of the species was chosen to distinguish it from the White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). This is misleading, as those two species are not really distinguishable by color. The word white in the name "White Rhinoceros" is a mistranslation of the Dutch word wijd for wide, referring to its square upper lip, as opposed to the pointed lip of the Black Rhinoceros.
The World Conservation Union (IUCN) announced on 7 July 2006 that one of the four subspecies, the West African Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis longipes), has been tentatively declared as extinct.
About 3600 Black Rhinoceros exist in the world.
An adult Black Rhinoceros stands 140–170 cm (57.9–63 inches) high at the shoulder and is 3.3-3.6 m (10.8–11.8 feet) in length. An adult weighs from 800 to 1364 kg (1,760 to 3,000 lb). The females are smaller than the males. Two horns on the skull are made of keratin with the larger front horn typically 50 cm long, exceptionally up to 140 cm.
For most of the 20th century the continental black rhino was the most numerous of all rhino species. Around 1900 there were probably several hundred thousand living in Africa. During the later half of the 20th century their number severely reduced from an estimated 70,000 in the late 1960s to only 10,000 to 15,000 in 1981. In the early 1990s the number dipped below 2500, and in 2004 it was reported that only 2,410 black rhinos remained. According to the International Rhino Foundation, the total African population has since then slightly recovered to 3,610 by 2003.According to a July 2006 report by the World Conservation Union, a recent survey of the West African Black Rhino, which once ranged across the savanna of western Africa but had dropped to just 10, concluded the subspecies to be extinct.[9] The northern white is soon to join the western black rhino on the extinction list as its last noted numbers were as few as 4. The only rhino that has recovered somewhat from the brink of extinction is the southern white whose numbers now are estimated around 14,500, up from fewer than 50 in the first decade of the 20th Century. The Black Rhinoceros has been pushed to the brink of extinction by illegal poaching for their horn and by loss of habitat. The horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is said by herbalists to be able to revive comatose patients, cure fevers, and aid male sexual stamina and fertility.The purported effectiveness of the use of rhino horn in treating any illness has not been confirmed by medical science. In June of 2007, the first-ever documented case of the medicinal sale of black rhino horn in the United States (confirmed by genetic testing of the confiscated horn) occurred at a traditional Chinese medicine supply store in Portland, Oregon's Chinatown. It is used in the Middle East to make ornately carved handles for ceremonial daggers called jambiyas. Demand for these exploded in the 1970s causing the Black Rhinoceros population to decline 96% between 1970 and 1992.
Solitary animals with the exception of coming together to mate, mothers and calves will sometimes congregate in small groups for short periods of time. Males are not as sociable as females, although they will sometimes allow the presence of other rhinos. They are not very territorial and often intersect other rhino territories. Home ranges vary depending on season and the availability of food and water. Generally they have smaller home ranges and larger density in habitats that have plenty of food and water available, and vice versa if resources are not readily available. In the Serengeti home ranges are around 43 to 133 km², while in the Ngorongoro it is between 2.6 to 44 km². Black Rhinos have also been observed to have a certain area they tend to visit and rest frequently called "houses" which are usually on a high ground level.
The Black Rhino has a reputation for being extremely aggressive. They attack out of fear, confusion, and panic. They will charge if they sense a threat, which occurs frequently due to their very poor eyesight. They have even been observed to charge tree trunks and termite mounds. Black Rhinos will fight each other, and they have the highest rates of mortal combat recorded for any mammal: about 50% of males and 30% of females die from combat-related injuries. Adult Black Rhinos have no natural predators, outside of an unverified incident of a huge Nile crocodile taking one down.
Black Rhinoceros follow the same trails as elephants use to get from foraging areas to water holes. They also use smaller trails when they are browsing. They are very fast and can get up to speeds of 56 km/h (35 miles per hour) running on their toes.
Diet
The Black Rhinoceros is a herbivorous browser that eats leafy plants, branches, shoots, thorny wood bushes, and fruit. Their diet helps to reduce the amount of woody plants which results in more grasses growing for the benefit of other animals. It has been known to eat up to 220 different species of plant. It can live up to 5 days without water during drought. Black Rhinos live in primarily grasslands, savannas, and tropical bushland habitats.
They browse for food in the morning and evening. In the hottest part of the day they are most inactive spent resting, sleeping, and wallowing in the mud. Wallowing is an essential part of all rhino species lives. It helps cool down their body temperature during the day and protects against parasites. If mud is not available they will resort to wallowing in dust. Drinking water is most commonly done towards the afterhours. When Black Rhinos browse they use their lips to strip the branches of their leaves.
Communication
Many forms of communication are exhibited by these animals. Due to their bad eyesight and solitary nature, scent marking is often used to identify other Black Rhinos. Urine spraying occurs on trees and bushes, around water holes and feeding areas. Females urine spray more often when receptive for breeding. Defecation occurs in the same spot used by many different rhinos found around feeding stations, watering tracks, and other areas. These are very important for identifying each other. Coming upon these spots, rhinos will smell to see who is in the area and add their own marking. Less commonly they will rub their heads or horns against tree trunks to scent mark.
Different types of complex vocalizations have also been observed. Growls and trumpets may be used during a fight. A long snort indicates anger, while sneeze-like calls are used as an alarm to danger. Short snorts with pricked ears and wrinkled nostrils are a startled reaction to a newcomer. A high-pitched wonk has been described for when they are fearful. Even worse is a high-pitched scream observed in times of terror. "Mmwonk", a deep, resonant sound is a sign of contentment. Squeak, done with different tones and intonations can mean "I'm lost", "Where are you?", "I'm over here", and other emotions that are not yet understood. Breathing speeds can be used to communicate greetings, anxiety, and reassurance. A puffing snort is a common greeting when males and females encounter one another.
Body language is the least important of Black Rhinoceros communications. A bull will sometimes display an aggressive ritual towards a potential rival. They will smell, spray repeatedly, scrape, trample, and bash with their heads in bushes. They may also snort in an attack posture. When their tail is up, it may indicate one of several things: curiosity, alarm, or sexual receptivity. Erect ears also indicate curiosity, though flat ears express anger.
The adults are solitary in nature, coming together only for mating. Mating does not have a seasonal pattern but births tend to be towards the end of the rainy season in drier environments.
When in season the females will scrape their vaginas more vigorously with dung piles. Males following females that are in season will follow her; when she defecates he will scrape and spread the dung, making it more difficult for any other adult males to pick up her scent trail.
Courtship behaviors before mating include snorting and sparring with the horns among males. Another courtship behavior is called bluff and bluster, where the rhino will snort and swing its head from side to side aggressively before running away repeatedly. Breeding pairs stay together for 2–3 days and sometimes even weeks. They mate several times a day over this time and copulation lasts for a half an hour.
The gestation period is 15 to 16 months. The single calf weighs about 35–50 kg at birth, and can follow its mother around after just three days. Weaning occurs at around 2 years of age for the offspring. The mother and calf stay together for 2–3 years until the next calf is born; female calves may stay longer, forming small groups. The young are occasionally taken by hyenas and lions. Sexual maturity is reached from 5–7 years old for females, and 7–8 years for males. The life expectancy in natural conditions (without poaching pressure) is from 35 – 50 years.
sadly,we cannot rescue this animal,we can suprass the growth of extintction,but we cannot put them back to thir previous state.
